American Oversight uses its extensive experience in open records law to act where corruption and government power overlap — and communications is a critical element of our work. From the federal Freedom of Information Act to state transparency laws, we file carefully crafted records requests to extract information from the government, and if officials fail to respond as required by law, our team has the expertise to take them to court and enforce the public’s right to hold our leaders accountable. American Oversight has obtained and published more than one million pages of emails, memos, calendars, text messages, and other records. Through our public communications, we have used those records to ensure accountability, expose misconduct, and drive significant corrective action at all levels of government.

As assigned by the communications director, manage communications team members with particular focus on the organization’s media relations work, including building and maintaining relationships with reporters and news outlets that cover American Oversight’s areas of work.
In consultation with the organization’s leadership team and executive director, assess capacity and resource needs, and develop and execute a strategic plan for increasing the organization’s outreach to Spanish-language audiences.
Write and edit a variety of types of content for American Oversight, including press releases, news posts, analyses of documents, updates on investigations, announcements of new lawsuits, or longer-form reports synthesizing information obtained through investigations.
Engage in rapid response to current events, developments, and document releases in American Oversight's records requests and litigation. This will occasionally include after-hours or weekend work in high-priority matters.
Prepare American Oversight team members for media appearances and interviews, partnership meetings and public statements. Serve as an on-the-record spokesperson for the organization as needed.
Approve final external content for the organization as required, ensuring that all content meets the highest standards of journalistic accuracy and integrity.
Stay up to date on the organization’s work, investigations, lawsuits, and findings to ensure that web content is complete, accurate, and timely.
Maintain an active awareness of current events and the political landscape in which American Oversight operates to take advantage of communications opportunities that advance the organization’s mission and strategic objectives.
Qualifications
A minimum of five (5) years of relevant experience, including experience developing and executing an organization’s comprehensive communication and press relations efforts.

Strong relationship-building skills and ability to serve as an external-facing ambassador.
Experience editing the work of others and conducting fact-checking, or experience writing for a publication with a fact-checking process.
Sound independent judgment to make critical decisions on organizational priorities and resource allocation.
A sophisticated understanding of the political, policy, and media landscape in which American Oversight operates, as well as an ability to quickly assess information for relevance and newsworthiness.
